"tested in a home kitchen" should tell you from common sense not to use ANY THING they say. The disclaimers should be evidence they already know they have no credentials to even publish this garbage. Sounds like someone trying to gamble and make money praying on the uninformed and innocent. This is a shameful grab at money!

That's a little harsh. It's no worse than W-S or Blue Chair or any other book out there. Everybody's out to make money. Yes, the author/publisher took lawyers' advice and put disclaimer in. I'd do the same thing if I didn't have tons of money for testing.

But that book has been reviewed here, the recipes look like variations on approved recipes, all high-acid and safe for BWBing. Whether it's worth the price when you can find those recipes at NCHFP website is your call.

This thread lists books some of us have found to be the ones we want to spend the money/shelf space on:

Here is a link that might be useful: Recent thread on canning books

I read through it in the library. The recipes are all high-acid and fine to BWB. She did include recipes using the canned goods, which I thought was a nice touch.

The canning recipes themselves were somewhat interesting and a little different but, since I have a zillion other canning books, there wasn't anything unique enough to make me want to add it to my collection. But that's just me - amazon reviewers liked the content.

As ajsmama said, the lawyers advised them to put in the disclaimer, but I wouldn't read anything more into that other than a typical CYA move.

Since you have it and it was free (nice gift!), use it without worrying about safety and have fun.

Great, thanks for all the info. I've done lots and lots of
BWB canning, but always the basic same things, or just one ingredient items so am not able to look at a recipe and know if it's a variation on something else or not.

I'll go ahead and enjoy this book then and check out the thread on the other recommended books. I'd like to branch out and try some new things now. I've borrowed several books at the library and photocopied recipes I liked because since I can't have sugar and don't like pickled things, there are usually only one or two per book that I can use.

I was very excited about the "Putting It Up With Honey" book because I could use every single recipe in it. I'm going to write to the company publishing it and ask about the testing. And maybe when I get ready to try a recipe from there, I'll post her first for your kind review.
